Camp Chase is located in Columbus, Ohio on Sullivant Avenue (West Columbus). It was originally a training camp and then later in the War became a POW camp. There is a cemetery there of about 2,000 confederate graves. The Daughters of the Confederacy used to have an annual memorial service there and whether or not they still do I don't know. Hope this helps! Gene Roller Camp Chase was a Union camp used for training Yankees and a location for Yankees to serve out their parole before being able to return to their units. It was also a Confederate POW camp/prison. The first prisoners were Virginians captured in 1862. Ohio has three chapters (UDC). The Dixie Chapter, located in Columbus has given up having or participating in a memorial service there. Our chapter, LaSalle Corbell Pickett, 2070 of Akron, is taking over that job. We will probably have our first service there early next summer or late spring. We hope to have it in conjunction with the SCV. We also take part in a service on Johnson's Island, POW camp and cemetery, on/about Confederate Memorial Day. This coming year it will be on Saturday, April 25th. We will have re-enactors and the Lt. Gen. James Longstreet Camp 1658 conducting the service. We decorate the 206 graves with Battleflags and present a wreath. Generally, the Ohio Division SCV Commander is the main speaker. Back to Camp Chase: there are 2260 Confederate graves in the cemetery. All that is left of Camp Chase is the cemetery, which is now Federally owned and supposedly protected. end of snip<<<<<<<< I hope this helps out Lisa Cook Aiken, SC
